Need help identifying a plow

I have been offered a shot at a 3 bottom plow for what I think is a fair price. I've been trying to ID the plow and think it is an old JD F135A. What I am not sure about is if my gas 2010 tractor will pull a 16" 3 bottom. Any help identifing the unit and opinions about if I should continue looking for a 2 bottom would be helpful.

I've been lurking for about 2 months and took the leap to register and sign up yesterday. I sure have appreciated viewing the site, I'm looking forward to reading more.

I agree on soil type but can this one be reduced to a to bottom? I did that on a JD two-way plow and many CASE plows are made that way,, just thinking out loud

Any idea what Model is in the photos? Replacement parts could be a problem also. I've read the F135 can be difficult to servise due to parts availability and the 135 and 145 are very similar. I don't want to buy something that is a complete dead end.
 
I think the 135 is a shear bolt trip and the 145 a spring trip bottom safty but I would have to try to get into John Deere's part lookup site to be sure. You can check that as easily as I can. That site would also if it could be reduced to a 2 bottom would let you figure out how to do it as well. Other than shares should not be much you would ever need. Years ago had what if I remember correctly the 145 in 3-14" size that neighbor had bought new with a 2020 tractor and we got it when he traded it in and used it on a 52 horse ford and your tractor is 45 horse. My uncle had a 2010D that he pulled I think 3-14" in some very tough ground. But I figure about 15 horse for a 14" bottom and 20 for a 16" bottom.
 
I think it is a F115/125 plow. The parts for it are readily available. It already has the "new" style land slides and it has replaceable points and shins. It is spring trip.

I can tell you your JD 2010 will not pull any type of heavy soils. In lighter ground or sandy soil you can but it will be a load.

I would look for 3x14 or 2x16 plow for your JD 2010.
 

I was told the trip on his unit ment backing up to reset. It looks like it's in good shape for the age of the unit. Thank you for mentioning the web site. I will take a look.

Jim,

Is that model F125 in your picture the model that replaced the 813/814 plows? It looks almost like my 813 except that it has the box channel beam across the back like my F620 plow. I took the last bottom off my 814 plow to make it an 813.

I think F110, F120, and F130 Series Integral Moldboard Plows followed the 813/814 plows for rowcrop tractors

From what I've read the f125 replaced the 800 series and could be distinguished by the welded tube upper cross bar which the unit for sale has. The 800's had a solid bar upper. The 125's are wider and longer than the 800's also. Was designed for more clearance to prevent packing. I'm still unsure if one of the bottoms can be removed from the 125.
 
Just a simple question from a simple mind. The plow pictured appears to have a cat two hitch, does a 2010 have the same?
 

Localboy, I read some about the 2010 before I purchased it and went in with my eyes open. So far it's been fine and handles everything I've thrown at it. I'm not running a full out farm, just clearing the drive, planting my food plot and will open a garden in the spring. It's been a good learning experience and I have several folks at the plant that are interested to purchase it when I make the move to a different machine. For a 53 year old machine she's pretty not showing her age like most would imagine.

Garden use and odd plots- get to low gear on 2010 and set plow shallow- like 4 to no more than 6 inches- and see if it works for what you have in mind. H Farmall can be used with a 3 bottom normally used on the M to do a garden and a sweet corn plot- experience in this. If you want to go really deep for some reason- a single 18 to 22 inch moldboard as some people use for potatoes might be found, the skinny single shank subsoilers are around for the overgrown garden tractors and old Ford Ns.
